FILM SCREENING & ARTIST TALK WITH ADDRESS: EARTH ARTIST, ROSALIND SCHNEIDER: As part of the exhibition, Address: Earth in the Gallery at the Visual & Performing Arts Center, artist, and filmmaker Rosalind Schneider will present a screening of her film, “Pond Reflections,” and discuss her work from 6:30 to 8 p.m. This event will take place in Choir Room 108 at the Visual & Performing Arts Center.

“Pond Reflections” is footage collected over three years of seasonal reflections on water as the primal source of creation. Surrounding trees, rocks, and landscape trace the cycle of life. Peter Rubin, a recent graduate of the Berklee School of Music composed the film score and may also participate in the discussion.

Rosalind Schneider creates works that transcend their source to form a new reference to a visionary landscape. She creates layered landscape images with multiple realities that progress from the real into abstraction and a fusion of the two. Her Digital Fusion paintings result from the capture of a video frame as a starting point and are realized through hands-on manipulation. The surfaces are transformed by drawing, acrylic, and glass particle collage resulting in a luminous translation that speaks to its moving image origin. Multiple realities are birthed from video. Schneider was the first artist to show the film as an art at the Hirshhorn Museum, following a solo show of her films at the Whitney Museum. Exhibitions of film, video, digital prints, and paintings include the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Islip Museum, Chelsea Museum, Hudson River Museum, SculptureCenter, and MOMA (Carte Blanche: Women Writing the Language of Cinema). Her 16mm films are currently being restored by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and will be part of the film archive at the Academy Museum.

More of Schneider’s work is on view in the exhibition, Address: Earth, from October 13 through December 4, 2022. The gallery will be open before and after the film screening and during regular gallery hours: Tues-Fri, noon to 4 p.m., and Sat-Sun, 1 to 4 p.m.
